黒い雫

• By: Superfly

Lyrics:

[日本語]

[English]

非情無情の

Unfeeling and merciless

浮世にこそ咲く花よ

You’re the flower blooming in this fleeting world

哀しみシラズ

Unaware of sadness

喜びだけじゃ開けない

Joy alone can't open the door

完全無比

Absolutely perfect

不純物の無い世界へと

To a pure, impurity-free world

逃げ込むのは

It's time to escape

そろそろお開きにしよう

Let’s call it a night

ひと雫 落とす黒 真白な 心へ

A drop falling—black onto a pure white heart

汚れるんじゃない 深くなれ

Don’t get tainted, go deeper

さぁ、おいで

Come on in

悪を消しちゃ 裁きもない

Erasing evil, there's no need for judgment

業も 情も 昇華してく

Karma and feelings—transcend and rise above

綺麗ごとを 振りかざすな

Don’t wave around false prettiness

酸いも 甘いも 網羅して

Cover all the sour and sweet moments

荒れ野に花 ウラミツラミ

Flowers in the barren field—hatred and pain

あれど 咲けるは 何故？

Yet, why can they still bloom?

哀しみさえ 愛せるのよ

Even sadness can be loved

美しくあれ 美しくあれ

Be beautiful, be beautiful

多情多恨の

A heart full of passion and regrets

心なれど愛しいもの

Yet still beloved

人は振り子

People are like a pendulum

大きく振りゃ爆発する

Swing too far, and it’ll explode

ひと雫 落とす罪 汚れぬ 心へ

A drop of sin falling—towards a clean heart

痛くなるほど 愛になれ

Let love hurt enough to feel pain

厄介ね

What a trouble...

闇を消しちゃ 光もない

Erasing darkness, there's no light

躁も Lowも 劣化してく

Mania and lows—shrinking and deteriorating

悲しみから 引き出すのよ

Pulling from sadness

愛と 正義の 迷路を

Lost in a maze of love and justice

荒れ野に花 ウラミツラミ

Flowers in the barren field—hatred and pain

あれど咲けるは何故？

Yet, why can they still bloom?

一瞬のため 誰かのため

For a moment, for someone

美しくなれ

Be beautiful

嗚呼、厄介ね

Oh, what a trouble...

悪を消しちゃ 裁きもない

Erasing evil, there's no judgment

業も 情も 昇華してく

Karma and feelings—transcend and rise above

綺麗事を 振りかざすな

Don’t wave around false prettiness

酸いも 甘いも 網羅して

Cover all the sour and sweet moments

荒れ野に花 ウラミツラミ

Flowers in the barren field—hatred and pain

あれど咲けるは何故？

Yet, why can they still bloom?

哀しみさえ 愛せるのよ

Even sadness can be loved

美しくあれ

Be beautiful

美しくあれ

Be beautiful
